There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Today’s robotics are having an impact on the factory floor, in warehouse and distribution centers, and even in executive offices and homes.
“There are a number of new trends in robotics,” says Dr. Henrik Christensen. “First of all, we see a spreading of use from big companies to smaller firms. Second, the new robotics have a greater degree of flexibility and can perform more complex tasks. Third, the lower prices of new entries into the robotics lines have made them accessible to all size firms. Finally, robotics have moved from the manufacturing floor to logistics and distribution supply settings.”
